Was Andres Mendoza at Cedar a mag?
Great restaurant with excellent food. We had a happy hour event there and got to meet the owner and she was lovely. Very hospitable and accomodating for pur event. Staff was super friendly and attentive. We had some amazing cheesecake bites, ribeye skewers, apple tarts, the fries were delicious and all the other food was great. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. View all feedback.

What Gwen B dislikes about Cedar:
My friend and I came to this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday, and we were the only ones there. The waiter was friendly and attentive, but that was the only positive aspect of our meal. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, but they were small, frozen, processed crab cakes that did not taste fresh. The hollandaise sauce, which I asked for on the side, was cold and unusually thick, tasting more like mayonnaise. The side... View all feedback.

The vegan menu is delicious! But we were not happy with the dessert.

The food and service at Cedar is very good. A little pricey but the norm for this area. I would recommend.

My experience was good, but not outstanding. I enjoyed the variety on the menu (both vegan and wild game options make it an accessible restaurant for various diet preferences). The pace was relaxed and perhaps even a little slow for how empty the restaurant was on a Monday evening, but it did make for a relaxing evening with friends.

My friend and I came to this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday, and we were the only ones there. The waiter was friendly and attentive, but that was the only positive aspect of our meal. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, but they were small, frozen, processed crab cakes that did not taste fresh. The hollandaise sauce, which I asked for on the side, was cold and unusually thick, tasting more like mayonnaise. The side salad was not fresh and seemed pre-made and soggy. Overall, aside from the good service from our waiter and the pleasant company of my friend, the experience was disappointing. The meal was overpriced and of poor quality. It was no surprise that we were the only ones there for brunch, and I have no intention of returning.

My colleagues and I had our holiday dinner at Cedar on a Friday evening a few weeks before Christmas. The restaurant is quaint and located down a couple of short flights of stairs. I opted for scallops as an appetizer and bouillabaisse as my main course. While both dishes were tasty, I was hoping for a bit more flavor. The portions were on the smaller side considering the price, but that's to be expected in Washington, DC.
